Hello L4S!

The apps aren’t much cheaper most of the time and many of them charge their own fee before you even have to tip.

Happy to help test this out when you’re ready! Currently on the app store version, but happy to swap back to TestFlight if/when needed.

The app is great so far, keep up the awesome work! Already a happy lifetime pro subscriber 😀

That’s how I had hoped it would work. So if it continues, just one instance can clean it up so all the others don’t need to take any action.

Probably the easiest solution. Just had to remove another one, guess we’ll see what happens.

But non-spammy regular users wouldn’t be able to post or interact at that point, right? Also, how would that affect users on a third party instance? For example, I’m on lemm.ee

Genuine question, not too familiar with how the backend of Lemmy works and am curious to learn more :)

Ouch, that’s definitely way out of date and has several critical bugs in it that are unpatched.

I brought the spam issue from that instance to the attention of the admins for LW, they’re going to take a look into it. Will keep an eye out for more spamming today.

Loved this feature in Apollo! Would love to see it here as well.

I’m not actually sure how that works. If LW defederates does it block all users from that instance from posting? I would guess “yes” in that I believe the instance the community is hosted on plays a role in tracking posts to that community. If you’re curious, I would definitely ask one of the dev communities.

Will leave up for a little since I’m sure a lot of other people saw the barrage of spam from last night. Should be all cleaned up now.

Also, I do believe that is a legit instance, so it’s not likely it’ll be defederated, they’re likely a victim of the spammers as much as we are here… they just need to delete those accounts and block those IPs.

Unfortunately this isn’t an action that mods can take. The admins of each instance need to de-federate from it.
